The Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg, a civilian facility under the Federal Bureau of Prisons, awarded a $27,075.90 firm fixed price purchase order to East Baking Company, Inc., a minority-owned food manufacturing and distribution company headquartered in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This award, announced on April 6, 2026, is designated as a total small business set-aside under North American Industry Classification System code 311999. The contract fulfills third quarter 2026 food requirements for the correctional facility, with performance extending through June 30, 2026. The procurement originated from a Request for Quote solicitation (RFQ 15B31626Q00000002) posted on February 23, 2026, which sought comprehensive food products including bread, dairy, produce, and specialized dietary items such as kosher and halal certified meals to support the facility's food service operations.

East Baking Company was selected based on its conforming offer and past performance as an established federal contractor specializing in bread and bakery products for correctional institutions. The company's selection aligns with its demonstrated capacity to meet stringent government procurement requirements, including strict compliance with national menu specifications, minimum shelf life standards, and specialized packaging and delivery requirements. This award represents one of multiple task orders the vendor has received under its existing $774,087 Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Department of Justice Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute, which provides bread items to support food service operations across Bureau of Prisons locations. East Baking Company's active contract portfolio with federal agencies exceeds $1.5 billion, underscoring its critical role as a supplier to both correctional facilities and domestic food assistance programs.
